Gantz Resigns from Government, Calls for Elections

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has resigned from Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency government, citing deepening divisions over post-conflict plans for Gaza. Gantz, who joined the government eight months ago following the Hamas attack on October 7, had repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu over his approach to the conflict. In a statement, Gantz accused Netanyahu of preventing true victory and urged him to call an election in the autumn.
